I've got 2 copies of Information Society's "Creatures Of Influence". Considering I live in their home town I've only seen 3 of these in 20 years.

I've got some really obscure, limited-pressings of punk records but my New Wave collection is pretty stan

"Rare" is such a relative term to me. I remember seeing a lot of CD's in the used bins at the record stores over and over again that were going cheap and are now hopelessly out of print and going for stupid money on eBay. I guess time changes everything

I just found out my copy of "Classic Alternatives 4" 3CD set included the Images In Vogue "Best of Collection" CD, I'm thinking it was a mistake, anyone else have this?

Images in Vogue LP's on EBAY...

I saw a power pop band named "Psycotic Pineapple" open for the Rubinoos in SF back in the late 70's and I looked for their album for over 20 years! (this was pre-eBay so it wasn't easy) I finally found a used copy at an out of the way California gold cou

They might not be the rarest of the rare, but for me, they were the Holy Grail of Obscure that took me 15-ish years to find--I finally snagged 'em on kazaa:

1. Cee Farrow - Should I Love You Forever
2. Seona Dancing - More to Lose
3. Bongos - Numbers

The rarest thing I own is Blue Clocks Green's "Hemingway" 7". Heard it back in 1988 or 89 but couldn't find a copy to purchase, eventually I stumbled across it in the $1 bin of a Boston record store.

Would still love to get my hands on the Some Bizar
